{% capture billboard_description %}
Spring Data REST is part of the umbrella [Spring Data](#) project that makes it easy to expose JPA based repositories as RESTful endpoints.
Spring Data REST is part of the umbrella [Spring Data](#) project and makes it easy to build hypermedia-driven REST web services on top of Spring Data repositories.
{% endcapture %}
{% capture main_content %}
The goal of the Spring Data REST project is to provide a solid foundation on which to expose CRUD operations to your JPA Repository-managed entities using plain HTTP REST semantics. The first implementation of this exporter uses Spring MVC and the standard Servlet architecture to make it easy to deploy a WAR file that becomes a full-blown CRUD application simply by including your domain classes and their corresponding Repository definitions. Future implementations will allow you to export your repositories in non-Servlet HTTP environments using high-throughput non-blocking IO, and will provide enhanced HTML5 capabilities.
Spring Data REST builds on top of Spring Data repositories, analyzes your application's domain model and exposes hypermedia-driven HTTP resources for aggregates contained in the model.
## Features
* Supports JPA, MongoDB, Gemfire, and Neo4J Repositories
* Create new entities (auto-generated or pre-assigned IDs are both supported) using POST
* Update existing entities using PUT and PATCH
* Delete entities using DELETE
* Manage entity relationships using POST, PUT, DELETE
* Discover services and get or list available entities using GET
* Search entities through Repository query methods using GET
* Validate entities with JSR-303 or Spring Validator beans
* Extend the REST exporter's functionality by capturing ApplicationEvents
* Configure path and rel values using annotations or DSL config helper
* Page large results sets
* Sort results
* Use metadata (ALPS) to discover transitions and other details about the service
* Projection alternate views of data and pick excerpt options to make certain ops more efficient
* Exposes a discoverable REST API for your domain model using HAL as media type.
* Exposes [collection, item and association resources](http://docs.spring.io/spring-data/rest/docs/current/reference/html/#repository-resources) representing your model.
* Supports pagination via [navigational links](http://docs.spring.io/spring-data/rest/docs/current/reference/html/#paging-and-sorting).
* Allows to dynamically filter collection resources.
* Exposes dedicated [search resources for query methods](http://docs.spring.io/spring-data/rest/docs/current/reference/html/#repository-resources.query-method-resource) defined in your repositories.
* Allows to [hook into the handling of REST requests](http://docs.spring.io/spring-data/rest/docs/current/reference/html/#events) by handling Spring `ApplicationEvent`s.
* [Exposes metadata](http://docs.spring.io/spring-data/rest/docs/current/reference/html/#metadata) about the model discovered as ALPS and JSON Schema.
* Allows to define client specific representations through [projections](http://docs.spring.io/spring-data/rest/docs/current/reference/html/#projections-excerpts).
* Ships a customized variant of the [HAL Browser](http://docs.spring.io/spring-data/rest/docs/current/reference/html/#_the_hal_browser) to leverage the exposed metadata.
* Currently supports JPA, MongoDB, Neo4j, Solr, Cassandra, Gemfire.
* Allows [advanced customizations](http://docs.spring.io/spring-data/rest/docs/current/reference/html/#customizing-sdr) of the default resources exposed.
